Harold Wilson objected to this documentary as it was too personal and disrespectful, so the BBC agreed not show it again in his lifetime. It was finally repeated for the first time in 2013, as part of a night to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his becoming leader.
The BBC also agreed to cut out a question asking Wilson how much he earned for his memoirs during which he lost his temper. The producer and presenter removed their names from the credits in protest, and Wilson refused to ever be interviewed by Dimbleby again.
